1
Prepare the Ingredients
Dice the bell peppers, onion, and your choice of ham, bacon, or sausage into small pieces. Shred the cheese and set all ingredients aside.

2
Cook the Vegetables
In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are soft and slightly caramelized.
3
Add the Meat
Stir in the diced ham, bacon, or sausage into the skillet with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
4
Beat the Eggs
In a bowl, crack the 3 eggs and add salt and black pepper. Whisk the eggs until well combined.
5
Combine and Cook
Pour the beaten eggs over the sautéed vegetables and meat in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
6
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the omelette when the eggs are almost set. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for another minute until the cheese melts.
7
Serve
Carefully fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate. Serve hot.
